Not Your Sweetie

The Horse Tries to Keep up With the Competition: You Too can be Paid for Propaganda!



BRIBERY AND FRAUD!
GOP Offers Gifts for Successful Astroturf Propagandizing

Rant for points

The GOP site's Action Center makes it easy to search for print
and broadcast outlets by geographic area, then fire off a
prefab letter or compose one of your own. DeFeo points out
that members are encouraged to edit text in the prewritten
letters or add their own comments.

The payoff? The site awards "GOPoints" that letter senders
can accumulate and spend on a variety of goods. For
example, you collect five points for contacting the media and
another two if the outlet publishes your letter. When you reach
95 points, you can trade them in for a "Team Leader" mouse
pad. Other prizes include T-shirts (185 points), portable
coolers (375 points), or leather portfolios (525 points).
